Surrender Your Sensations

I just followed where Rupert would take me since I didn’t know anyone here aside from him and Bailey. Also, I couldn’t see anyone’s faces either. It was actually a bit stressful and frustrating for me to see a sea of blurred faces. Sooner or later, for sure I would lose my energy due to stress. That’s one downside of prosopagnosia. The frustrations of not seeing the people we interacted with, especially in large crowds, could lead to high levels of stress and cause us extreme fatigue.

But thanks to Rupert, the frustrations were more tolerable. He was so attentive to me. He was talking way too much than he used to.

“I’ll introduce you to some of my friends slash brothers in Phantoms Omega,” Rupert said as we crossed the sea of ​​people.

A few more walks, we arrived at a part of the house that was a bit calmer and softer. It was a room on the second floor with blinding lights but with lesser people. There was a long U-shaped sofa in the middle of the room and in the middle was a glass table. To the right of the room was a small bed and to the left was a large flat screen tv.

On the u-shaped sofa, there were four guys and three girls sitting. They all looked at us when Rupert and I entered the room. I couldn’t see their faces too but based on the branded clothes they were all wearing, it’s easy to conclude, they’re rich and powerful.

“Ahoy! Rupert is here! We’ve been waiting for you for a while, you idiot.”

Rupert just laughed and then raised his middle finger in response to what he said. “You miss me again. By the way, this is Meredith Kaye Santiago.” I smiled when Rupert pulled me onto the sofa where the other people were waiting at us. We sat at the left end. I was next to the arm rest while Rupert sat next to me. “She’s my special friend.”

I was stunned by Rupert’s introduction. Special friend? What an odd way to introduce me. But I didn’t object anymore.

“Hi, Meredith. I’m Benjamin. But simply call me Benj.”

“I’m Calvin. We already met at the cafe.”

“I’m Joshua, but you can call me Josh for short.”

“And I’m Cloak. Nothing much to say about me. Nice to meet you.”

I answered with a hesitant smile to all the introductions of the man. Well, I couldn’t see their faces – though, I know their names – I still don’t know who’s who. It’s also not that easy to try to remember them according to the timbre of their voices. They also don’t have a distinct smell.

“The three girls are Luna, Crescent, and Gibbus. They’re all daughters of the second in rank, Sir Apollo,” Rupert said before I felt his hand land on my thigh. “Don’t pressure yourself to know them all. They’re not really important, so you can forget them.”

I giggled with what Rupert said. “You’re really crazy.”

“Crazy for You.” Then he leaned on my shoulder as his hand played over my thigh. I could feel his finger tracing circle patterns on it.

“Awww … Am I seeing this right? Brother Rupert is being so clingy with a woman?” one of the girls suddenly said.

I tried to push Rupert’s head away from my shoulder but he didn’t budge. “Don’t be such a nuisance, Luna. You just really notice everything,” Rupert replied like a child who was laughed at by the others.

“Here they are again. It’s Luna versus Rupert.”

I recognized Calvin’s voice saying that. Among all of them, I managed to familiarize myself with Calvin’s voice.

“I’m not going to argue with her, right now. I should be a good boy because Meredith is here,” Rupert said and the guys whistled and gave each other a high five.

“Not so you, Rupert,” someone said, earning another laugh from everyone.

I just laughed too. They were all bullies and did not stop teasing Rupert. Like a child, Rupert would report it to me which always led to louder giggles and laughs. Eventually, I found myself fooling around with Rupert’s friends as well. I even ended up playing ‘truth or dare’ with them.

“Owkaaayy! It’s your turn now, Meredith! Finally, the bottle points at you too!”

I laughed at what Calvin said. Well, he’s the most hyper among us and I must say the life of the party. Rupert walked over to me when one of the women was excited to approach me. She has pixie cut hair, so she’s Gibbus. “Truth or dare?” I could hear the excitement in her voice and I chuckled before saying, “Dare.”

Everyone shouted. I laughed. I’ve already seen a few rounds of truth or dare, and only now did the bottle hit me, so they were very happy.

“That’s what we want! Fight!” I heard Benj said before Josh, who was already a bit tipsy, cheered the loudest ‘whoo!’.

“What do we dare her, guys?” Gibbus asked then turned to her sisters.

The woman in a long skirt and shoulder-length red hair immediately raised her hand. She’s Crescent. “Meredith Kaye, I dare you to give Rupert a fucking boner!”

“Motherfucker! That’s your talent, Crescenta!”

My cheeks immediately warmed up as Rupert’s body stiffened next to me.

“Can you do it?” the girl with wavy shoulder-length hair asked, Luna.

I swallowed before nodding. I removed the nervousness because I shouldn’t feel it. I mean, it’s Rupert. And we already did a lot of crazy things together. “That’s easy,” I said, grinning like an idiot.

“Whooo! Rupert is easy!” Calvin shouted, making everyone laugh.

“I’m not that easy, sweetie,” Rupert whispered to me so I answered him with a grin.

“Really?” Then, I placed my hand on his lap, the exact place where I could touch him against his pants.

Everyone fell silent as Rupert stared at me in disbelief. His mouth dropped open and the look at his eyes gradually changed. His eyes darkened.

I moved my hand, up and down. Squeezing and slightly caressing his length. Gradually, his thighs opened and he leaned back on the sofa. “Shit.” Rupert looked up as the movement of my hand quickened over the fabric of his pants.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Tss. Too easy,” Cloak commented, for the first time in the night.

I bit my lower lip when I saw the tent on his crotch area slowly lifted.

“Ahhh … Shit!”

Everyone gasped when Rupert suddenly took my hand off of his lap. He immediately pulled me up and led me out of the room.

“Rupert!”

“Fuck the game. Let me have you, sweetie.”
